Palestinian children hold posters and banners outside an UNRWA school during a protest against the killing of children on August 11, 2014 in Rafah in the southern Gaza City, during a 72-hour ceasefire observed in the Gaza Strip. Almost 12 hours into the truce, the skies over Gaza remained calm, with no reports of violations on any side and signs of life emerging on the streets of the war-torn coastal enclave which is home to 1.8 million Palestinians.
